Chapter 722: Woman

It is already September, so since the matter of sending troops has been decided, then it is necessary to set off as soon as possible, and when the army arrives in Xiangyang, it is already winter, if it drags on any longer, just marching in the severe cold is a huge test for the soldiers.

After sending away Ashina Duoduo and returning to the Tiance General's Mansion, Li Xian began to prepare for the personal conquest. Now that most of the fierce generals under his command have been assigned, the only generals available at his side are Cheng Zhijie, Xiongkuohai, Cheng Mingzhen and others, and one person must be left to sit in Chang'an, leaving Li Xian with little room to choose in terms of dispatching troops.

Du Ruhui is the first civil official in the position of prime minister, and Li Xian does not have too much to worry about in court and politics. As for Li Chengde, who is now confined in the dormitory, he doesn't have to worry about anything. Without Li Yuan to rely on, Li Chengde is like a fish trapped in a dry riverbed.

However, Chang'an was initially decided, and it was obviously not safe to stay with civilian officials, and a strong military general must be left to stand by Du Ruhui's side, and the two could cooperate to deter the ministers. And this article and one force cannot be in conflict.

Xiong Kuohai, Cheng Zhijie, Cheng Mingzhen, Pei Xingyan, and Hou Junji, these people are all descendants of Yan Yunjun, and one of them was selected to assist Du Ruhui to stay in Chang'an, this choice is actually not a matter that can be decided too easily. Luo Shixin has already led the army to the south, the vast sea, Cheng Zhijie, Pei Xingyan is the fierce general of the world, so it is naturally better to go out with the army. Cheng Mingzhen and Hou Junji are smart, but they are suitable for staying.

But Cheng Mingzhen did not have enough prestige in the army, and Hou Junji ......

Thinking of the past, Li Xian couldn't help but shake his head.

It was difficult to choose for a while, so Li Xian asked Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, and several old Li Tang ministers who had been demoted but their titles had not been reduced. Not long after, Yu Shinan, Liu Zhenghui, Zhang Gongjin, Tang Jian and others also arrived one after another. The small study room of the General's Mansion suddenly became a little crowded.

"When the lone army marches south, Du Ruhui can discuss and decide with the courtiers about all matters in the court, and if there is a major matter, he can let Shengtu Xiaohua be quickly sent to the army in the way of the military inspection department."

Li Xian glanced at everyone and said, "This time the army is different from the past...... The imperial army is all in Hebei, and if the troops are transferred alone, it is tantamount to adding a lot of weight to the courage on Mao Gong's shoulders. Dou Jiande Ruoping, the land of dozens of counties in Hebei belongs to the Tang Dynasty, and Zhang Liang's men and horses have only arrived in Dongping County, if they are transferred to Xiangyang, let alone fighting, the march can also defeat all the sharpness of the people and horses...... Therefore, only the armies in Chang'an City will not change. ”

"Now it's just a matter of whether Mao Gong and Xie Yingdeng can solve the matter on Li Daozong's side...... Although Li Daozong had the intention to lean over, it was based on Lone's plan to lure Li Shimin back to Chang'an and then behead him, if Li Shimin died, Li Daozong had no other choice. Now that Li Shimin is not returning to Chang'an, Li Daozong and Li Xiaogong are both variables. ”

"Gu has already written a letter to Mao Gong and Xie Yingdeng, if Li Daozong is willing to surrender, then immediately reorganize the 100,000 Tang army, merge it into the Northern Expeditionary Army, and divide it into various battalions. Then 350,000 horses were transferred from the Yu scribes and the army, and they immediately rushed back to Chang'an by water. Chen Qi'er's sailor has already been opened, and it won't be long before he can join Yu Wenshi. ”

"But it's not going to be a day or two, or even a month or two. Li Daozong also counted on the 100,000 Tang troops under his command as bargaining chips, if it was easily surrendered, he was afraid that he would not be able to gain a foothold in the court, which was understandable, so he asked Xie Yingdeng to rush over to discuss with him. ”

As for Li Xiaogong's side, there is no need to pay attention to it, the auxiliary machine was already about to arrive at Wudang Mountain, but he was caught up and stopped by the people from the Lone Military Inspection Department, and ordered him to wait for Luo Shixin's vanguard army in place. Doesn't Li Xiaogong like to wait and see, when the lonely family mentions the army south, let's see if he still has the heart to wait and see! ”

Li Xian said the general situation, paused for a moment and continued: "Originally, in Chang'an City, it was already very safe to have you in charge, but in order to ensure that nothing went wrong, I planned to choose a general from the army to stay, you see...... Who is the best fit? ”

Li Xian stretched out a few fingers and said: "Cheng Zhijie, Xiong Kuohai, Pei Xingyan, Cheng Mingzhen...... Who of these four people can stay in Chang'an? ”

The civil officials are headed by Du Ruhui, he doesn't speak, and the people below are not good at speaking first. Du Ruhui pondered for a moment and said, "I think it...... General Xiao Cheng can take on this important task. ”

In the army, there are General Da Cheng and General Xiao Cheng, Da Cheng, and Cheng Zhijie. Xiao Cheng, Cheng Mingzhen.

There is selfishness in these words.

Li Xian heard it immediately, but he understood that Du Ruhui's selfishness was not a dirty thought. Cheng Mingzhen has the least seniority among the four, and Du Ruhui said that it was because of this that he stayed. If you leave Cheng Zhijie, Xiong Kuohai or Pei Xingyan, his qualifications are older than Du Ruhui, and it is difficult to dispatch.

"The minister thinks that General Xiong Kuohai's heavy armor Mo knife battalion is sitting in Chang'an, and it should be safe."

Fang Xuanling lowered his head.

"Seconded by the Minister"

Tang Jian, Zhang Gongjin, Liu Zhenghui and other former ministers of Li Tang opened their mouths one after another.

The heavy armor stayed in Chang'an City, which is indeed extremely deterrent.

"I think it's ......"

Yu Shinan hesitated for a moment and said: "It's better to be General Xiao Cheng, Lord Du's recommendation is Lao Cheng's serious words." That day......"

He raised his head and glanced at Li Xian, hesitated for a moment and continued: "That day, the military inspection office in Chang'an City arrested the traitor, and General Xiao Cheng led the army to patrol the city...... But it is precisely because of this that the minister feels that General Xiao Cheng is cautious and serious, and he is the right person. ”

Li Xian snorted and asked, "How is Hou Junji?" ”

"The Squire of the Military Department, Hou Junji......"

Du Ruhui pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that it will be difficult to take on this important task." ”

Fang Xuanling glanced at him, lowered his head and said, "The minister thinks so too." ”

"Then leave Cheng Mingzhen behind!"

Li Xian smiled and said, "Zhang Gongjin, you go back and prepare, and go with the lonely south!" Other than that...... Hou Junji temporarily replaced Shangshu with the squire of the military department, and also stayed. ”

Take a look at it.

He said in his heart that he should not arbitrarily suspect a meritorious person because of some things he knew in his previous life.

Mid-September

After the mobilization of the troops in the city was completed, 20,000 horses were selected from the Tang army that originally defended the city, and 40,000 horses were selected from the Yanyun army, totaling 60,000, and they swore to go to battle. Previously, most of the sailors had returned to the front line of Dongjun to receive Yu Wenshi and Zhang Liang's men and horses to cross the river to the north, so this expedition could only be taken by land.

When Li Xian entered Chang'an City, he led an army of more than 100,000 people. This expedition did not exhaust the Yan Yun army to accompany him, but selected 20,000 Tang troops, which is also quite meaningful. Li Tang has hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and he can't use these horses and horses. Sharing some credit can also give Li Tang old generals hope.

The army goes on an expedition, and it is not a matter that the people above can immediately start the next day with a word. The necessary grain, grass, and baggage had to be allocated, and the battalions had to distribute winter clothes, so the order to go out to the general's palace on the same day was issued, and it was at least three to five days before the trip could be completed.

North Ya of the Military Inspectorate

Shengtu Xiaohua stood at the door of the small courtyard of Dugu Ruizhi at the head of the second stall, and glanced at the woman who was leaning on the recliner and covered with a thin quilt in the sun.

"Big stall head...... The lord is about to go on the expedition, and our military inspection office will also send people to accompany the army, how many people do you think to send, and who is the right person to send to lead the team? ”

After recuperating in the house for so many days, Ye Huaisleeve finally begged Xiao Di to let her allow her to sit in the courtyard. She put down the book in her hand, looked at Shengtu Xiaohua and smiled: "Now that you are the acting head of the military inspection guard, the affairs of the military inspection office are naturally your own decision." You came to me and asked, if you let the people below know, wouldn't you be laughing at you for not making a decision? ”

"It's better to be laughed at than to do something wrong."

Shengtu Xiaohua said seriously: "If it weren't for the Xiangyang incident, I might not have been so cautious, but if this incident happened to the Military Inspectorate, it would be a shame...... I don't dare to specialize in the selection of people. ”

"Who are you going to send?"

Ye Huaisleeve asked.

"Ye Turning Clouds...... That's why I'm here to ask you. ”

"Ye Chuanyun is okay, now the stalls in the military guard are all because of their seniority, and the real ability is actually the following people. Wan Yulou was dispatched to Jiangdu to prepare for the construction of the Southern Ya, and Wu Bushan was in Xiangyang...... There is a need for fresh blood in the Military Inspectorate...... Dugu is a medicine idiot, Qiu Yu is old, Leng Yi's duty is not to leave Chang'an easily, and the person who can use it is only Ye Chuyun. ”

Shengtu Xiaohua said cautiously.

"The lord also mentioned this matter."

Ye Huaisleeve thought for a while and said: "Wu Bushan and Wan Yulou, as well as the following few people who are young and extremely capable, can be mentioned, there is a person named Guan Xiaoshu under you, who is a talent." ”

Shengtu Xiaohua nodded and said, "Guan Xiaoshu is indeed a talent. ”

"Since this is the case, the matter of the main public security danger will be handed over to Ye Chuanyun, and the rest of the matters will be taken over by Wu Bushan after arriving in Xiangyang...... As for the investigation of rebellion, leave it to Guan Xiaoshu. ”

"Good"

Shengtu Xiaohua snorted and said, "I've been thinking about it...... If Li Piaofeng really betrayed, with his understanding of the Military Inspectorate, what would he do? ”

Ye Huaisleeve was stunned, and his face changed: "I was negligent...... You get the guards to move now! Especially in the days before the lord set out on the expedition, there must be no chaos in the city. If Li Piaofeng hadn't died, what he would have to do first...... It can only be ......"

She didn't say the latter words, but Shengtu Xiaohua understood.

"I have arranged for people to keep an eye on the gates, and in the past few days, there have indeed been some strange people coming in."

"Then keep an eye on it!"

Ye Huaisleeve thought for a while and said, "I want to go to see the lord in person." ”

Pine and Cypress Building

Private room on the second floor

Li Piaofeng pushed the window open a crack, looking at the bustling street, his eyes were a little erratic. When he served in the Military Inspectorate, although he was also a person living in the shadows, he could walk on the streets of Chang'an City openly. But now, he can only shrink in the corner like a ghost, looking at Chang'an gloomily.

"Captain...... King Yan is going to lead an army to the south, what should we do? ”

His subordinate confidant Lei Ze said with some uneasiness: "King Yan has left Beijing, and he is in the midst of thousands of troops, even if we bring a lot of elites here, it is extremely difficult to have a chance to start." ”

"If he wants to go on a campaign?"

Li Piaofeng sneered: "Then what's the point of us coming?" ”

He looked out of the window and said in a solemn tone: "Although killing a few people will make King Yan vigilant, as long as the dead people happen to be in key positions, can King Yan still be relieved to boldly send troops?" If things change, then the plan must also change, since it is difficult to kill King Yan...... Then he can't go out of the army. As long as King Yan's army stays in Chang'an, this is also an immortal achievement for King Qin! ”

"Strike the grass and scare the snake...... Let's let this Chang'an city become noisy! ”

He clenched his fists and stared at the majestic Miyagi in the distance.

"Let Cheng Dong and them be cautious, Chang'an City is full of hidden piles of the Military Inspection Department, and if you are not careful, you will be spied out, tonight, let them all come to me, we don't have much time." Within three days at the latest, Yan Yunjun will leave the city, and within three days, there are too many things to do. ”

He turned around and sat down in his chair, and suddenly smiled and said, "Who do you say, who did you kill...... King Yan never had the heart to send troops again? ”

"Subordinates are ignorant."

Razor and the others bowed their heads.

"Woman."

A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Li Piaofeng's eyes, and he was extremely hideous: "If his woman dies, can he still send troops?" ”
